“The birth of the Vatican Museums is usually dated to the accession of Julius II to the Papal throne, though as private treasures of a prince, this first Vatican collection was rather different in nature.”
The above are the printed words that begins this impressive site of DVDs that together have one purpose: to allow the viewer to gaze what’s inside one of the world’s most spectacular museums by taking him/her on a tour of each museum’s highlights.

This documentary surveys the Vatican’s artistic treasures through ravishing state footage (and even archival footage!) with narration (accompanied by comely background music throughout that has the translated lyrics of Michelangelo) .
The viewer feels as if he/she is walking through each museum’s halls or flying over the outside buildings. The key point here is that the camera is always enchanting thus avoiding the static and listless feel of impartial looking at works of art that are impartial sitting there.
The narrator explains, amongst other things, the history of the artworks, how they came to be in a particular museum, and information is even given about the construction of each museum.
The variety of what’s presented was, at least for me, overwhelming. The viewer will inspect and hear about such things as furniture, tapestries, costumes, and armour, as well as sculptures, busts, statues, paintings, portraits, mosaics, friezes, frescoes, artifacts, and grand more.
The interior photography of buildings is resplendent and aerial photography that captures the recent architecture of the exterior of buildings is quite impressive.
Note that each disc is not one continuous showing but instead you engage a chapter from the main menu, that chapter plays (most chapters are about 25 minutes long), then the disc reverts abet to the main menu where you lift a different chapter.
To give the potential viewer an plan of the mammoth amount presented, here are the chapter titles (five chapters per disc) :
(1) History of the museums (2) Greek art in the Vatican museums (3) Roman art (4) The Egyptian museum (5) The Etruscan museum (6) The origins of Christian art (7) The Sistine chapter (8) The Raphael rooms and the Loggia (9) The historical museum at St. John Lateran (10) The Ethnological Museum (11) The recount gallery (12) The collection of fresh religious art (13) The Apostolic palace (14) Vatican City (15) The Vast Basilica
Finally, the DVDs themselves are perfect in portray and sound quality. However, in a few cases the lighting for the photography of some pictures was not optimal.
In conclusion, on the assist of the DVD case it states that this documentary was the “culmination of three years research and filming” and keen a “crew of forty directors of photography” with the “collaboration of 32 scholars and historians from around the world.” As a person who has viewed this fabulous collection, I can attest that all this research, direction, and collaboration has produced a astonishing documentary to be admired!!
(1995, 1996, 1997; 6 hr, 40 min.; 15 chapters; 3 discs; burly screen; no closed captioning or subtitles)

I bought the DVD of “The Vatican Museums” as preparation to my visit there. I opinion that I will learn from it, and be able to invent a tour by myself without connection to a group and a guide. After my visit the DVD will remained me of all the things that I saw there.
The DVD is above all expectations. It expose everything, and even details, and the explanation is trustworthy. Even people who doesn’t familiar with all the history facts can learn and have a profound idea of the Vatican and the people who contribute to its glory.
Although English is not my native tongue I could understand everything.
I recommend it to everybody, those who wants to visit the Vatican, or to be reminding of their visit, or those who want to learn and know what it’s all about.
